Research direction

Read the current treetable implementation and issue #276's temporary workaround first; no file or test is named here. Compare the replacement against virtual scrolling, autolayout, header/body width matching, and flicker concerns, and consider it done when these behaviors work without PrimeNG.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

library tech-debt

Primeng treetable is implemented in such a way that it requires a lot of ugly workarounds to adjust it.

Virtual scroller doesn't work as expected out of the box and the biggest issue is that it doesn't support autolayout for scrollable tables (header and body are separated into different tables by design - temporary workaround is implemented in https://github.com/AbsaOSS/cps-shared-ui/issues/276, but we still can't prevent flickering and sometimes cells width match is still not accurate).
